Amid a soft week for late night, NBC\u2019s Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/a> stood alone as the only show to grow in both total viewers and the demo.<\/p>\n

According to Nielsen Live+3 ratings data, CBS\u2019 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a> continued to lead the 11:35 p.m. hour in total viewers, averaging 2.40 million for the week (\u20132 percent). ABC\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> followed with 2.17 million viewers (\u20135 percent).<\/p>\n

Among adults 18\u201349, Jimmy Kimmel Live! again led the hour despite a double-digit drop, averaging 228,000 viewers (\u201313 percent) to Colbert\u2019s 190,000 (\u201313 percent). NBC\u2019s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> was the only broadcast show at 11:35 to avoid a decline, holding steady in total viewers while rising 3 percent in the demo to 197,000 adults 18\u201349.<\/p>\n

At 12:37 a.m., Late Night with Seth Meyers averaged 1.01 million total viewers (+3 percent) and 154,000 adults 18\u201349 (+2 percent), making it the only show among those we track to post week-to-week gains in both measures.<\/p>\n

ABC\u2019s Nightline<\/a> averaged 998,000 total viewers (+2 percent) but declined 14 percent in the demo to 106,000 adults 18\u201349.<\/p>\n

At 11:00 p.m., Comedy Central aired alternate programming in place of The Daily Show<\/a>, which was dark for the week.<\/p>\n

On cable, Fox News\u2019 Gutfeld!<\/a> again drew the largest overall audience among the shows we track, averaging 3.53 million total viewers (\u20135 percent) and 300,000 adults 18\u201349 (\u20135 percent) across five original episodes.<\/p>\n

Bravo\u2019s Watch What Happens Live<\/a> averaged 329,000 total viewers (\u201310 percent) and 84,000 adults 18\u201349 (\u20138 percent).<\/p>\n
